you are all right, the alien explanation is the EASIEST, most logical explanation...

I do think that as far as possessing/repopulating, it would be more of a "survival" situation, like, the ship crashed perhaps, and they did encounter the MH crew first, so it was a matter of convenience...

there has to be some reason why these individuals were "chosen" to be part of this...either by chance, luck, or LOCATION--meaning that the "ark" just happened to land in that area...

or, as others have proposed, it all has to do with Alex and his film...which would take us into all sorts of theories about what is reality and what is Alex's fabricated reality...the only reason I hesitate about this idea is that I feel it would require so many more chapters to explain...it's so esoteric and involved...and I just feel that the series is coming to a full circle here...

that is why the alien theory is plausible--because all the other theories would require so much more to tell the whole tale, and something tells me these guys are probably eager to wrap it up...and start new stories--after the attention MH has gotten, I can't believe they haven't gotten any offers to adapt it in some other way for profit.

If this IS anything involving aliens then they're more like Stephen King's Dreamcatcher aliens with Mr. Grey being all in the one character's head than a real person.

I agree that the script must play a larger role than we've been giving it credit. We see Slendy personally attending a couple of sessions where Brian and Tim are "acting" (the word deserves its own air quotes. XD) there are a couple of different times when audio distortion overlays what Alex is saying about the contents of the movie. Slenderman appears to have encountered them all when they were gathered and talking about the production. Still can't help but think that he is an archetype dredged out of someone's subconscious, or a collective subconscious. I guess I like it better because it seems more scary, that way.

Dray makes a good point above me here.

There is a lot of distortion on the tapes when the plot is being discussed, even when slenderman nor masky is around (see the gazebo scene). In Entry #2 Alex says Slenderman was in the road "near the site of Marble Hornets".

So possibly Marble Hornet's filming was intruding on his space, and he was determined to stop it.

[squidbutt]

Maybe it's not so much the location, but the plot itself that's the key?
We don't really know anything about it, except that it's about a guy revisiting his hometown or something, right?

Marble Hornets is the title, maybe it's more relevant than we think.
I dunno.

so uh

how would I contact Jay if I wanted to ask him stuff? >_> PM on youtube? I wanna ask him about the script you see

[hellozombie]

so if we start discussing the theory that it is all about the MOVIE, I think the comment Masky makes in the last video about how this has all been "a game" is EXTREMELY important.

to all of us, and to Jay, this story has never been "fun" or like a game in nature; rather, it's often been a matter of life and death for the characters

or so we think...we still have yet to see any dead bodies, and the fact that the blood in the sink mysteriously disappeared is suspect as well--they are budding filmmakers after all, it's not that hard to make some fake blood...what if all of this, from the moment Alex gave the tapes to Jay, is just an elaborate prank on poor Jay by the rest of the MH crew? (Still, this explanation doesn't explain the now familiar image of Jake staring open-mouthed and hollow-eyed at Slendy in the hall, or everyone's illnessess...if we are to assume that is reality, I have a hard time believing a prank could make Jay react that way)

as far as the name Marble Hornets, I have a little info I don't believe has been presented as of yet...

Hornets and wasps are in the same family, Vespidae; there is still some contention over their differences, but something I find very interesting (as a science major) is the parasitism of the Gall Wasp.

What it does is lay it's eggs in the leaf buds of oak trees, creating what are called "Marble Galls."



the larvae feed on the developing tree, creating the gall, and exit it upon maturation. The galls look like marbles, which is how they got their name. What is notable is that this process doesn't kill the tree. Just like the members of Marble Hornets haven't "died" per se, after Slendy "used" them...

probably not significant, but interesting if we consider the whole Puppetmaster theory...

Dray, there also was some kind of bonfire in the camp (?). Which may or may not result in something significant (regarding the painting with a forest fire).

Also, I noticed that in Entry 17 they're waiting for Brian to return from some store. He doesn't return during the video, and I don't know if it ever means anything. But I'm feeling like we all have missed some detail, so I try to notice anything...

And in Entry 20 Alex says: "Pretty much everyone's at risk". Which turns out to be pretty... real, then.
